Y3. Why ?

#1 Post by Actually »

Since the beginning of the Fundamental era (Well over a year now) we have become used to seeing Chris dressed from head to toe in Y3 adidas gear. And those big sunglasses, cool but WHY wear them for this length of time during interviews & live performances.
Remember the days when Chris' image changed more times than a set of traffic lights ?

The Y is for YOHJI YAMAMOTO (the designer of this line) and the 3 I think means the 3 stripes you can find on adidas stuff.

I miss the Stüssy clothing.
Interviewer:
-What would you tell someone about yourself if you wanted to impress them?

Chris:
-I´ve got a 12-inch plonker.

Ah, thanks. I like the cap, in fact the whole ensemble of clothing he has for this tour.

I think Chris feels good in such an outfit. Besides that, it's still part of the PSB image, I guess. And a third reason could be: if he wears a sports outfit in the public eye, he can dress more casual in his private life, without immediately being recognized on the streets.

Probably "Y 4" to coincide with the release of Disco 4.

There is a whole section in selfridges for the Y3 Connesuir , be prepared to slap it on the plastic though. I suspise they get a discount :P
